Kotick: Sony, MS, EA will 'struggle' to challenge us in future

Activision boss Bobby Kotick has claimed that traditional console companies such as Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo face a "struggle" to "figure out" an online future - one which the US publisher has already cracked.

What you're doing it's called collateral damage and it'll get worst over the time, while you rely so much on your every year games, other "new" games from Activision suffer from this sh!t, Blur is a primary example of that and over the time, people will get tired of COD and the other crap that comes out every year, If not already, I assure you, in the future, pretty much Blizzard games will be the only thing backing you...

I think this guy is mental too. He thinks Activision have "cracked online" but sony/microsoft haven't?!

Last time i checked, Activision were the ones using PSN and Xbox live for people to play and buy extra content. If Sony or Microsoft decided they don't want Activision games on their machines, Activision are the one who are going to be in trouble not the other way around.

I'm starting to dislike cvg.com. I mean alright so we all hate Kotick but this just seems like throwing some oil on the fire just to get some clicks. I mean the headline is a BIG exaggeration of what he actually said. I would recommend people read Kotick's statement before making any abrupt judgment.

I mean I did not feel he said anything that is out of the ordinary for an exec guy. This is just CVG taking a couple of words out of his mouth, twisting them and then put them in again.

Ok straight up I'm tired of kotic and his arrogant attitude.. He is always turning his nose up to everyone that he owes his current status too.. I'm done.. Im not buying black ops and I refuse to buy anything with the words activision or blizzard on it.. I am going to start a petition on facebook I invite everyone to like it and get awareness out about this prick... It ends now!

Bungie is not owned by them, i believe blizzard is though. Bungie though made a deal for them to publish a game, so Bungie is still free to do other things at their discretion. Unfortunately they have a hold of Blizzard and if they let Blizzard to their thing, they will get the best profit they can get out of Blizzard. Soon as they step in Bye bye im not buying it.

They better not screw with Diablo III oh Kotick, you better not. Listen to your "Fans"

Nobody is scared of Activision lol what do they got CoD? what else? LMFAO!!!!! Sony has 21 1st party studios that pumps out the best exclusives, MS dominates Online, Nintendos army is the casuals, and EA been on a role with the multiplats O yea Activision is gonna take over.

this guy kotick.... man i hate the guy... as he sees COD and bungie he feels he rules the world now... man i am pissed... i am so renting all their games from now on.. no buy what so ever... if u need to pay something eat dirt

Right...so anyone who is not pro crimes against humanity and in support of the U.N/U.S backed Israeli terrorism against Palestine is a Nazi :S...you realise that Germany is but one country out of over 200.

I will be glad when Israel is called to account for what they have done.

Here is what I don't get. Are Jews a Race or Religion. They say they have a claim to Israel because the Jewish people were forced out. However the original resettlement in the 1940s were the holocaust survivors, most of which had little to no ties to the Jews that were kicked out. It had been thousands of years.

They kicked out the people who had been living there for generations, with the backing of the US and UK(only 14% of the displaced population remained in the newly created Israel by the 1950's, with the percentage continuing to drop). They essentially did to the people living there the same thing they use as a reason for being allowed to just take it back.

The newly created Israel, along with the 62.5 billion(modern day) a year that the US alone gives it(equal to our aid to ALL of Africa), continued to expand it borders, taking even more land from Palestine, directly against the agreements drawn up. Yet no one says a word.

They then say they are just for attacking(slaughtering with far superior technology) Palestine, because Palestine attacked first. Despite the fact that none of the attacks were sanctioned by the Palestinian government(modern day, the war ended in 1948), and were carried out by the rightly pissed of Palestinian refuges(made refuges by, OMG, Israel)

They say they are a sovereign nation, yet would completely collapse without the backing of other nations(namely the money given by the US).

And not one console game this gen. I borrowed one of the earlier Spider Man games (which was sh!t).

Nothing against Blizzard - great developers, but I won't be playing Cataclysm either. Partially on account of their association with Activision (and their inability to give more customization options to characters or an engine update despite being the most successful MMO on the Western market).

This guy...is going to ruin the video game industry. You might not pay attention to it because it "doesn't effect you" but you guys need to open your eyes.

He is right, people continue to buy his shit and that's the problem. But though he realizes that we have the power, he also knows that the majority video game person doesnt give a flying fck about this so he can in theory say whatever he wants a get away with it.

I think COD MW 2 on PS3 sold about 6,000,000 so I would say the majority doesn't give a fvck about the COD, not the other way. I personally have already decided I will not buy another Activision game no matter how good it is. There are more than enough good games that I won't miss another yearly rehash. If Bungie releases an amazing game that doesn't play like Halo then I'll rent it to check it out or buy it used.
